TEE =LONDON JOURNALS. DAILY EXTRACTS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS. JULY 13, 1826. [THE NEW TIMES.] We much fear that the continued. drouolit will have a very unfavourable effect on the harvest. From the whole of the information we have received, whe ther from public or private sources, we are led to con clude that the barley and oats will be exceedingly de ficient. These constitute, it is known, the staple provision of the northern counties of England, and of nearly the whole of Scotland, and the necessary con sequence of their falling short is- to increase the de mand for wheat, and, of course, to enhance its price. This last grain will, it is believed, prove a fair ave rage crop. The period at whichit is usually sown renders it capable of resisting dry weather better than other grains, and it bloomed, this season, under the most favourable circumstances. There is but one ag gravation to our general distress yet to be experienced —dearth of bread ; and it is not easy to see how those who can with extreme difficulty support exist ence at present, will be able to do so in that event. — It is extremely fortunate, for the country, that an Act of last Session enables his Majesty's Ministers to introduce supplies, without waiting, as the existing Corn Laws might otherwise compel them, until provi sions have arrived at a famine price. It is not our in tention to enter into- the discussion of the Corn Laws at. present ; and, indeed, vie cannot help regretting that the public discussion of them is likely to take place at a time when commercial and manufac turing distress is great, or at least when the pressure of it is but newly removed, and when, in consequence, a cool and considerate discussion is hardly to be looked for. There is just one remark, which the ris ing markets naturally press upon us. The Corn Laws have been principally defended on the assumption that they tended to give steadiness to prices. Now this assumption, in the first place, is contrary to all sound theory, which teaches us that the more the surface is narrowed from which our supplies are drawn, the greater is the danger of unsteadiness in our supplies. And, in, the second place, it is unluckily as contrary to experience, for the markets, since the passing of the Corn Laws, have been singularly unsteady. It is true, for a season or two past, from the harvests, -by a very rare combination of chances, being abundant without superfluity, prices have not risen very high, nor fallen very low, but it is no less true that the mere anticipation of a had harvest would have, ere this, raised the price of wheat 10s. or 15s. a quarter higher than it is at present, had it not been f'or fear of the opening of that, valve, the string of which is in the hands of Ministers. And nothing can more clearly show the wisdom of that act, much as it was cla mowed against, than the slowness with which the price of wheat has risen under circumstances pecu liarly favourable to a rapid rise ; the mere existence of the Act, without, its being called into operation,Aus working out the very purpose for which ,it was passed ; namely, to keep the price of grain from advancing, not, as WAS then alleged, to cause its retrogradation. HE REPRESENTA Tim] Mr. Brougham has the usual consolation of a beak man—the condolence of his friends, who assure him he ought not to have been beaten. A dozen gentle-:I men, Messrs. Wyberg, Thornimon, and some others of equal weight in the county of Westmoreland—some of them being gentlemen of property, but not in that county—some, of them gentlemen of no property in that or any other county—some of them gentlemen who keep grocer's shops, and make an honest liveli hood by vote-manufacturing—Home of them gentle men who would perhaps find it not inconvenient to have one, at least, of the Parliamentary privileges— have addressed Mr. Brougham, to tell him that he embarked in the late contest quite against his own in clination, arid merely to gratify them with the exhibi tion of his person on their hustings. Of course, if Mr. Brougham swallows this, we have no objection to his delighting himself with the reflection, without troubling ourselves as, to its truth. But when this round dozen of gentlemen assure him that Westmor land is the only county in England which is engrossed by one family as their, private property, Mr. Brougham could if he pleased have informed them that they were " speaking the thing which is not," for the Lowthers have repeatedly offered to resign their pretensions to one of the seats to any Tory gentleman of the county who will start for it ; and perhaps if he had been nettled, as he might well have been, with the conduct of the Earl of 'Menet towards him, he might have reminded them that Westmorland was the only county the High Shrievalty of which is engrossed by one Noble family, which so far forgets the duties of a High Sheriff as to meddle continually in all the details of an election.--, But Mr. Broughton was not in the humour to make such an answer, and in its stead he tells the dozen addressors that their approbation amply repays his exertions (the approbation of Such illustrious names as Crakenthorpe, Ureenhow, and Brothers, Whitwell, Shepherd, &c. repaying a dead loss of some 12,0001., to say nothing of fatigue, disgrace, and waste of time I) —.and, moreover, increases his sense of his inadequacy to the importance of the occasion. In one sense this is perfectly true. It is no wonder that Mr. Brougham should find himself' inadequate to contend With the Lowthers, when he has no more firm support than the approbation of such a dozen as those whom he takes the trouble of answering.—After making his arithmetical calculationa to prove himself in a majority, he concludes quite happily by congratulating his 12 men on the advan tage this contest had been to liberal principles—how his adversaries had been very civil to popular edu cation (when, by the way, were they averse to it ?) and how the clamour raised against religious liberty (by which Mr. Brougham means popery ) had been hurled against those who raised it. This is Very easily said by Mr. Brougham—but not quite so easily.be lieved by us—who happen to know that this clamour, as he thinks fit to call it, lost hint, at least, 100 votes —amt that nothing more powerfully contributed to lose him his election. But, how valuable a man Mr. Brougham must. be, when even his being turned out o f a county in the most decided of all possible man ners is of so much advantage to the cause which he and , his f r i en d s e v. )o , lBe ! What a benefit, in this triode of calculation, must it not be, if he were turned o ut of Parliament altogether ! In the Times it is stated that Mr. .leffery, the Edinburgh Reviewer, rather think that he was. At was not at Appielor —we all events, he, Mr. Murray, and Mr. James Stuart, qualified as freeholders out of one petty tenement, rather hardily sworn to as being worth 71. The appearance of Lord Erskine's Wid o w i n t h e guise of an hurnble supplicant for charity, at the bar of one of our Police-offices, has called, forth a great deal of superfine sympathy from some of our 'contem.i `Rotaries.: To those who • knew the last years of hiS Lordship, there is nothing extraordinary In any appli cation of the kind. What his private 'character was, it is now quite needless to analyze. As to his public character, a more superficial man perhaps never obtruded himself on the nation. Possessed of a never-failing source of self-conceit, he had the merit of brow beating Judges on . points, of the legal merit of which he knew nothing ; and pos sessed of what in that particular time, when spout ing was a matter of importance, was deemed eloquence, and which, beyond doubt, was a facility of speaking, he, made himself into a sort of the most second-rate importance conceivable. The Edin burgh Review, and, indeed, the Scotchmen in general, puffed his speeches ; but now, that the prestige is utterly gone, we defy any one to produce from them any thing which could in the smallest degree compete with what we are in the custom of considering elo quence—any maxim of general truth, of universal ap plication—any thing beyond the mere usual noise of barrister-oratory, garnished by a now-and-then " By God," and recommended to an ignorant auditory by clap-traps, on the vulgarest of all the vulgar common places that turned up in his time. And yet he was called Demosthenes ! ! Well did Burke describe him when he called his Parliamenta7 exertions as " the oMscourings of the Courts below. ' They who would wish to find a full account of this most over-puffed man will see enough about him in Mr. John Cain Hobhouse's very clever pamplet, entitled " The ; Trifling mistake." As for his widow—why, we leave her to Lords Rosslyn and Duncannon.—Mid. LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, JULY 12. KENDRICK V. WILSON. This was a bill filed for the purpose of setting aside a contract entered into by the plaintiff with the defendant, on the ground that the defendant had entered into it by misrepresentation and fraud, and that, in fact, he was not at that time, or at any time since, in a situation which could enable hint to fulfil his part of the agree ment. The facts of the plaintiff's case (as stated by Mr. Maid) were briefly these :—The plaintiff was in possession of a patent for a new mode of tanning leather,' which was said to be very valua ble. The defendant had offered himself tifi the purchaser; and by representing himself as a man worth 20,000/. and upwards and acquainted with Mr. Maberly and others, by whose aid he could command 100,0001. did, in fact, succeed in entering into a contract with the plaintiff for his shares in the patent. In sup port of the bill was read the evidence of the Hon. Washington Shirley, who stated, that at a dinner given at the " Castle and Falcon," Aldersgate-street, at the time of the contract, deponent proposed defendant's health, and "Success to the tanning concern;" on which defendant rose and returned thanks, and added, that he was not a man of straw, but was worth 20,000/. and upwards, and could command' 100,000/. if occasion required. , It was added, that en far from the defendant being what he represented himself, that he was an uncertificated bankrupt, and had been so since 1816, and was at the time of the agreement a prisoner residing within the rules of the King's Bench prison. On these grounds the plaintiff prayed the Court that the contract might be set aside. Mr. SUGDEN (with whom was Mr. Knight), for the defend ant, contended that there was nothing whatever in the plaintiff's case, as supported by evidence, that could warrant the interference of the Court in the manner prayed for. • There was not, he 'con tended; 'any thing in the evidence to show that the representations alleged to have been made by the defendant had been made before' the signing of the contract. But what he mainly relied on was, that the plaintiff must have been perfectly well aware of the whole circumstances of defendant's situation ' that he used constantly to visit him in the rules, and knew that he was not possessed of any funds. This part of the ease was supported by the evidence of Alias Prieltett, a lady who was on ii visit at defendant's house, and who was preAEllt la.t moat of, tide conversations which to l: place between plaintiff and 'defendant. The evidence. was read, sod was. to this effect ,---That them was no coneealment of his cireum; 'Stances on the part of defendant ; that plaintiff had often express ed his entire reliance on the skill of defendant in the management of the patent ; that it was on his skill, and not, on his capital, he , relied ; and that he would rather have him to manage the patent without a shilling than any other man with a capital. It was was added, that plaintiff continued to express his confidence in the defendant, even, after Mr. Moberly, on whom he (defendant) had relied for the means of working the patent, had declined to have any thing to do with it. Under these circumstances, Mr, Sugden submitted that there was no ground for the application, and that it ought to be dismissed with costs. Mr. Kisioirr followed on the same side. The VicE-Citaxelmaia, after' recapitulating the facts of the' case as they appeared in the evidence on both aides,, observed, that he could not see why the plaintiff should have disposed of his shares in a patent admitkd on all hands to be valuable, unless re presentations had been made to him that the defendant could have found the means of paying him a fair price. It appeared to him that the defendant had, even on his own evidence, been guilty of misrepresentation and fraud: and the judgment of the Court was, that the agreement between him and the plaintiff should be given Up to be cancelled ; that the patent should he restored to the plain tiff; and that the defendant should pay all costs—those costs to be deducted from the stun of 2501. which defendant had already paid plaintiff in consequence of the agreement. COURT CI: SESSION, FIRST DIVISION, JULY ti CASE or olvoacr.—aLtaire U. BLAKE. It appeared that the parties in this cause were natives of Ireland, and had been privately married at Iltirtpatriek, it Scotland, after which they returned to Ireland, where they resided for some time. In 1816 they separated, and in 1824 the husband came to Scotland, where he took a shooting-bot in the 'Highlands, and after residing there forty days he raised an - action of divorce against his wife before the Com mimsarie.s of Edinburgh. To this action the lady was cited to Appear by in edictal citation at the market-cross of Edinburgh, and pier and shore of Leith. No appearance was made for her, and a proof having been' led, decree of divorce was pro trounced against her in absence, which annulled the marriage. When the lady learned of the derision, which she; did from the newspapers' she immediately contradicted it, and brought an; action of reduction of that decree before the Court of Session, on the ground that it was incompetent and void, in respect she WA not been legally and . bona fide cited for her interest. The Judges were unanimous in ending, that besides the legal citation, the lady was entitled to have' received notice from the husband,. under the baud of a notary-public and witnesses, that such suit was in dependence against her in Scotland ; therefore the Lords reduced the decree.. Lord 13x1 ray stated, that if such decree were stratained i the Commisaaries of Edinburgh night unmarry all the ladies in the two kingdoms, while they were residing at home,' and their husbands shooting, as they supposed, in the Highlands of Scotland. The plague is this summer extremely prevalent he Levant. ---- In a late gen eral assembly of, the Academy of Me dicine, M. ' cliche observed, that the experiments made by the faculty of physicians proved beyond a doubt that pieces of glass, even of considerable size, might be swallowed without any disagreeable results. The accidents which sometimes happen, he said, from the swallowing of pins, fish bones, or bits of glass, ought to be looked upon as the' effects of the efforts made to get rid of them, rather than produced by the articles themselves ; as no other animals seem to expe rience such injuries.---Another member had seen a student of medicine who was in the habit after dinner of breaki ng th e glass which he had b een using and swallowin g it, and he never had cause to repen t of such a mogular practice. Another gentleman had known a pers on w h o f requent l y , i n A fit of passion) broke the glassh e h a d drank out of and swallowed it, without the least i nconven i ence. This evidence was iven in consequen ce o f a deputation sent from the udicial Authorities o f Troyes, to ascertain what was the opinion of the Academy r es p ec ti ng the injurious effects, or otherwise, of mit eomraingled with a twen tieth proportion of pounded glass. The decision, therefore, was that, such salt could do no injury. POLICE lNTtli4Griler, Ai AN SION-H OUSE, —Two gestlemen, n amed Charles Wil liamson William and Thomas Isaacson, were brought before the: LORD MAYOR, charged with haling acted in a (disorderly manner the night before, at the corner of Gracechureh-street. The watchman stated, that as he was going along on his beat, at about half-past 11 o'clock, he saw the two gentlemen standing • 'together in conversation. Soon afterwards two females addressed them, and the witness went up and (lired them all to move on. The women walked away without hesitation, but the gentlemen refused to stir until they-should finish their conversation, where upon the witness threatened to lodge them in the Compter, and actually did compel them to take tip their residence in that abode during the whole of the night. The LORD Mayon censured the watchman for having taken into custody and imprisoned two persons under such circutn- stances. One of the defendants then told the Lord Mayor, that he had a complaint of rather a serious nature to make' against the watch man and the constable, who also attended upon the charge. The LORD MaYon immediately desired that the two gentlemen should make room for the watchman and the constable, and the two formeibecame in turn the complainants. . The charge against the two protectors of the public peace was, that they had taken a dollar from one of the consplamants on their way to the Mansion -house. lt, appeared that the gentle men, who could attribute their apprehension by the watchman to nothing but the wish to extort money from them, asked whether they could not get away without the trouble of appearing before the Lord Mayor. The watchman, whoie ears were open to any request of indulgence, intimated that that could not be, but t hen the thing might be softened down if the gonmen pleased. This hint was taken-ss. was the condition ; and certainly the watch man brought forward his charge in a very miwatChnumlike manner when the matter came to the test. The Loan MAYOR asked the watchman, who was struck aghast at this unexpected turn upon him, where the 5s were?-- The watchinan said, he had them not. The LORDMAyog.--Why, where are they ? One of the complainants.—No, he certainly has them not. He and the constable settled the matter between them, and he handed over the ss. to the constable privately. The constable admitted that the watchman had banded some money to him, but then lie knew nothing about it. The LORI) MAYOR,---What motive had the watchman for hand- ing over the ss. to you ? The constable (confused).—Ob J. because he had holes in his pockets. The Loan Mima instantly suspended the watchman and the constable, whose names are William Mackay and Henry Pearce, and sent notice to that effect to the yard in which they are em ployed., A licensed victualler, named 'Mackey, who keeps the Coach and Horses publie-liOuse in the Minories, was charged by Mer chant, the condueter of the city patrol, with having kept his house open until half-past one o'clock on Sunday morning, and supplied persons with drink. The officer stated, that he saw several persons; some of whom were eating, some drinking, and some sleeping in the defendant's house. There was no such thing as correcting the habits of the house at all. Three, four, and five o'clock in the morning, weie hours at which it was constantly to be seen open. The defendant declared that his house was most properly con ducted. _ _ . ,A person who lived opposite to the house declared that the rows which took place at the door of it, at unseasonable hours, were dreadful. The LORD MAYOR said, it was evident that the landlord was not fit to keep the house, and that if care was not taken the licence would be lost. Marchant said the landlady defied the whole parish.—(A laugh.) The Loan MAvon—Very well ; we'll see how she'll like a good fine. His Lordship' then ordered the defendant to pay the penalty of M. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.The well-known Lady Bar r.o7tore" was again brought before the Magistrates for drunkenness. She was brought to the office in a coach, and on alighting from which she became very poetical, and observed to the persons who crowded round the office door— " What's all this row I see ? Whaei all the world to me ?" _ . She was immediately placed before the Magistrate, and on being informed lay Mr. Dv ER that elle would be eonunitted to prison, she exclairoodp .• Dyer, 'tis to yin, I itnputa.rny ruisfer'-' tunas ; year are not half .so good a Magistrate as Sir Richard Rirnie. He, God Mese (and here she sighed), he would not send me to prison : he gave me money, and ordered me to be im mediately discharged. But here lam committed for every petty offence, and I am held up to the world art a worthless and dis graceful individual."—Mr. DYER repeated, that he should order her to be committed for being drunk.—" Then take that," said her Ladyship, and stooping down, she took off her shoe, and threw it at Mr. Dyer. It, however, struck against the desk. She was then, with difficulty, removed from the bar, but on passing through the Clerk's office to the lock-up room, she broke several squares of glass. WIARYLBBONE. —John Kay, assistant-overseer of the poor in the parish of Wiltelen, and an occasional preacher at Wile» den chapel, was brought, under , virtue of a warrant, before Mr. RAW LINSON, to answer the charge of an assault, with in tent to commit a rape, on the person of Rachael Brown, a girl 19 years of age. Rachael Brown deposed, that she has known Mr. Kilby from her infancy ' he pays the poor people ; her mother is paid by and else receives from him a weekly parish allowance; she earns part of her living by washing and (Alice jobs. On Saturday last she went to clean the house of Mr. Kilby's daughter, .who lives opposite to her father, on the road-aide. The family went to London in the afternoon, and left her in the house alone. After they were gone, about three or four o'clock, Mr. Kilby came over, went into the parlour, and looked at a fiddle which was there, and said he would play a tune if she would dance. She told him she could not dance; but she expected Charlotte Langley (a young girl living in the village) to come soon, and she could dance. Charlotte came soon after for a pail of water; no fiddling or dancing took place ; but after Charlotte was gone Mr. Kilby said lie would help her to clean the house ; she said she did not want his assistance ; he then took her in his arms; placed her on his knee, and said it was of no use to struggle, he would do as he pleased. The windows into the garden were open; she did not cry out, as she was rio ranch frightened. She told him she would report hint if he did not let her go. He kept her a quarter of an hour, and took very Improper liberties with her perion. To a question from the Magistrate, she said be never took liberties with her before, and her character had never 'been tampered with. While the girl was giving her deposition, Kilby endeavoured repeatedly to interfere, but Mr. Re %last - sow told him if he did not desist he would have him locked up. Charlotte Langley said, she went for a pail of water ; she looked into the house, and saw Mr. Kilby behind the door; he laughed, and she went away. Kilby acknowledged he kissed the girl, and talked to her about m li r r y . in ß g.

UNION-HALL —Yesterday Mr. Samuel Dixon, tine com mon-councilman, was brought up to this office, under the au thority of a warrant, charging him with assaulting one of his neighbours, a Mr. Burnly, residing in the Walworffi-road. Pre vious to the investigation of the cane the defendant applied to have it postponed, in order that he might have the advantage of the attendance of his professional adviser, as the circumstances that led to the assault were of such a nature as to require the aid of a soli citor to develop the whole of the filets. The complainant and his witness were, however, in attendance, and the Magistrate de,. cided, as it was a mere assault 'case, it should be entered into at once. _ _ The complainant was then sworn. Ile stated that he was a cheesemonger, residing within a very few doors of Mr. Dixon's house. That on Saturday afternoon, while he was attending to the customers in his shop, the defendant came in, and advancing towards the counter commenced abusing one of the apprentices, threatening, in loud language, to annihilate the lad in the event of his not disclosing the names and places of abode of three other youths, ny whom it appeared Mr. Dixon had been annoyed. The apprentice repeatedly told the defendant that he could not give him the informa tion required ; when the latter became still more vociferous , and the noise and disturbance occasioned by his clamour collected a group of persons round the door, and impeded the business of the shop. At this juncture of the affair Mr. Burnly said he interfered, requesting Mr. Dixon either to quit his shop, or to discontinue the uproar that he was then making, Mr. Dixon, however, refused to listen to any remonstrances for tranquillity ; and when he (complainant) advanced towards him for the purpose of insisting on his leaving the shop, Mr. Dixon doubled his fist, and struck him a blow on the face, say ing, " There, take that facer now; how did you like it? lam an old man, and you are a young one; but. for all that I think I should be able to lick you." Mr. Burnly said that Mr. Dixon then threw himself into a posture for fighting, and actually want ed him to have a turn-up" in his own shop before all his customers and the crowd that were gathered outside the door. The chal lenge was refused, the complainant informing Mr. Dixon, who then left the Shop, that he should have other satisfaction than hav ing a "set-to" with a man so well skilled in the fistic art. Mr. Burnly forthwith lodged his complaint against the defendant, and procured a warrant for the assault. The apprentice, whom the defendant first addressed when he entered Mr. Burnly's shop, was called, and he corroborated his master's testimony with regard to the assault, and thc language used by Mr. Dixon. Mr. Dixon said that he was most anxious this case should go into another COurt. The Magistrate—Mr. Dixon, the *smolt has been proved, and you will have an opportunity of having your wish gratified—it shall go to the Sessions, • . Mr. Dixon proceeded to lament the absence of his attorney, and complained loudly of the annoyance and interruption to which he and his family were continually exposed by a set of disorderly boys, who were a great nuisance to the whole neighbourhood. He had merely walked into Mr. Burnly's shop, for the purpose of ascertain ing the names of three of those yonng scamps from the apprentice, who was well acqUainted with them. He had scarcely made the inquiry, when he was grossly insulted by the person from whom be wanted the information, and ultimately, be might say, assaulted by Mr. Burnly, who took his arm with the intention of turning him out into the street. Mr. Dixon denied having assaulted the complainant in the mintier described. Magistrate—l shall require hail, Mr. Dixon ; have you any per.: sons in attendance to become your sureties? Mr. Dixon.—! have no friend at present with me, and hope you will allow me some time to procure two friends to answer for my appearance. Magistrate.—You must arrange that with the complainant, as it must meet with his sanction. Mr. Dixon here, addressing the complainant, slid.--" Mr. Bundy, I hope you will agree to my request. You know I have been 42 years in spy present house, therefore must be conscious that I shall not run away." It was ultimately arranged that the defendant should put in bail on Friday next, to answer the charge at the Sessions. Tuesday Elizabeth Easterfiekl, thirty; one year+ of age, was charged by her husband with creating a riot befOre the door of his house in Friar-street; St. George's-fields. It appeared, by the husband's statement, they had separated by mutual consent 1S months since, be undertaking the care of three of his children, and she of n fourth, an infant 10 months old ; in consequence of which arrangement he was under the necessity of engaging a house-keeper, and this person hail become the object of her bitterest enmity and groundless jealousy, and under these feel ings beset his door continually, uttering the foulest abuse and the Borough s threats of becoming his butcher ; the peace of the whole' neigh bourhood was disturbed by the crowds collected around her to confirmed the latter part of his and was listen to her harangues, and he considered his life endangered. removed to A number of very respectable persons, neighbours of the com plainant,hejdtoltil to keep the peace, which being unable to obtain, at the conclusion of the office business was Compter.

BRESLAU. Two Italian ladies arrived here a.twelvemonth Bend one of them stated herself to `be a 'Countess. They ,heir d r in a most splendid manner, kept their carriage, And ! pk, tei suite of domestics was very n(imerons.. T he y were. ilk accomplished, and several persons of rank visit ed house. Their manners appeared extremely gentle, A. '. although it was remarked that the general tenor of that conduct did not evince a : greater share of caprice than usually appertains to the fair, sex, considerable surprise' was excited among their friends in observing, that a cOll tinuul change of servants was taking place. Scarcely any one retained his situation More than two months, and yet no complaints were heard among them; they invariably left the town, and if they returned, as it .happened in se veral instances, they were re-admitted into- the family.-- One of these persons, a kind of major-d onio Or head steward, formed an exception to this genera.• rule of dis mission. • His principal employment seemed t o consist in proceeding to different towns, where it was said that:these ladies possessed property , an d in collectin g rents.. He ge neri left this town at the commencement of every month, and was often absent about a week. Retuning. from his fast journey, he was met by a gentleman in tie streets of Bi'eslau, who, fancying that he recognizt id in his. person a robber who had stripped him of every valuable' article he possessed, gave information to a Magistnate, and the, steward wa s i ns ,tnntly sent to prison. During his ex amination certain facts tame to light, which, causing much suspicion, a . promise Vic' made of obtaining par don pro yided he would reveal the whole truth. He made.a f ull confession, and stated that he belonged to an organi zed band of robbers, 39 in number, ini'd that the whole of their proceedings were directed by the taw: , ) Italian females. All the servants belonged to thogang, • mid the apparent dis missions were easily accounted for. k'ortysone highavay robberies had been committed by the bansd, in which they had carried off booty sufficiently great to en, able the ferns les to live in such splendour. Several murders had also been perpetrated, where the attacked party had de. fended them selves. The most; exact regulations had bet `n made Te- specting the general conduct and movements ti '‘e banditt i were to pursue. One. chief , fou r subalterns, an I the rest privates, formed the band, and the head-guard s were established in the mansion of the Italian females, .whedi reeted the whole. These latter have been con vex; ved , to prison, as also the whole suite of domestics. The exa Mink tion of these wretches is now preceeding. • k • MEETINGS OF CREDITORS.
